Abstract

The most widespread type of bullying nowadays is direct verbal aggression. The impact of name-calling affects teachers, students, the community, and the educational process as well (Espelage & Holt, 2001). The current study examines name-calling detection and its negative impact on our society. A self-rated questionnaire has been utilized to identify name-calling and its negative consequences in our society, by distributing it among the students and teachers of Educational Institutes in Mardan. In conclusion, a significant percentage of survey participants remembered being the target of nicknames and name-calling as a very painful experience that was still negatively perceived.
